today i opened this pretty embellished paper doll pin made by Stacy Harris, http://www.creativemuse.etsy.com/. hers was fun to opened, because she really thought out each step. the pin was inside a paper bag that she had soaked in vanilla or something like that - because it smells good! she had the pin wrapped up in some tissue paper nestled inside some thin strips of sheet music and some cream colored buttons. i've got to appreciate any woman who would share from her button stash! a cute card on the outside with darling chickies, a feather, velvet ribbon, buttons and a round tag with the #3 completed the packaging. very nice! thanks, Stacy!

artist statement

Creating is my key to another time. It unlocks the gate to my secret garden; my refuge. It takes me to another era where things were simpler and I find the process soothing to my soul. Lemoncholy’s Studio began with my fondness for vintage items. Searching flea markets, I find items long forgotten, sometimes damaged, but still purposeful. They just need some love and attention. I want these found objects to tell a new story, have meaning and to be inspiring. I have a vision for them to begin again. Intuitively I combine elements in an enchanting way to provoke a narrative response that alludes to something we seek without knowing it. Often, it is a reminder of our childhood. My jewelry is about craftsmanship and virtue but not perfection. By removing perfectionism, I free my imagination to play and ultimately, this freedom results in whimsical pieces of grace and beauty. I am a grown up Navy brat and moved every 2 years of life. This education in life has well prepared for the journey i have chosen for myself. I am the mother of 2 boys, Tucker and Dillon. We live here at the jersey shore in our own little bohemian corner of the world.
